Combat
Bog maids usually draw upon their shape change ability to alter its physical form to appear as a beautiful young female elf, half-elf, or other humanoid. Then, they grapple their opponents in what seems a lustful embrace, proceeding to bite into them with their rancid maws.
Rancid Bite (Ex): The rancid bite of a bog maid deals 2d6+1 damage. In addition, a DC 18 Fortitude save is required to avoid 1d4 temporary Con damage.
Skills
Shape Change (Ex): Bog maids have the natural ability to change their shape into other humanoid forms, typically choosing a beautiful maiden of a humanoid species.
Swamp Walk (Ex): Because of their innate knowledge of the terrain, bog maids can move at normal speed through swamp, marsh, and bog.
Thanks to Rakehell over at Tailslap for the 4e version of this creature!

Yoven, Poison Pixie
An evil offshoot of the forest-dwelling pixies, these fey delight in sewing lies and poisoning the minds of people.
Poison pixies are usually about the size of goblins, weighing around 60 pounds, and stand between 3 and 4 feet tall.
They tend to be attractive much like elves and normal pixies, although when they let their masks of deception fall their faces become hideous to behold as they twist with hatred and malice.
Poison Pixies possess the following racial characteristics:
* -2 Strength, +4 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, +6 Charisma.
* Small size. +1 bonus to Armor Class, +1 bonus on attack rolls, +4 bonus on Hide checks, -4 penalty on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits ¾ those of Medium characters.
* Base land speed is 30 feet.
* Immunity to magic sleep effects, and a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects.
* Low-Light Vision
* Skills: Poison Pixies have a +2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks. In addition, bluff is always a class skill for Poison Pixies.
* Special Qualities: Damage reduction 5/cold iron, spell resistance equal to 15 + class levels.
* Special Abilities: 3 / day – disguise self, suggestion, command and charm person.
* Automatic Languages: Common, Sylvan. Bonus Languages: Elven, Gnome, Halfling.
* Favored Class: Sorcerer.
* ECL +2
Presented below is an example of a Poison Pixie, Yoven. A fairly typical member of her race, she enjoys attending the fey dances near a old, inactive gateway to the abyss. There, she sets other fey against each other by whispering lies in their ears.

A pryad’s delicate features are much like a dark elf’s, though her flesh is like petrified bark, and her hair is like an amalgam of rocks that match the tones of the petrified wood from whence it comes.
Although they are generally solitary, up to eleven pryads have been encountered in one place on rare occasions.
Pryads speak Common, Elven, and Terran.
Combat
Shy, intelligent, and resolute, pryads are as elusive as they are alluring—they avoid physical combat and are rarely seen unless they wish to be. If threatened, or in need of an ally, a pryad uses charm person or suggestion, attempting to gain control of the attacker(s) who could help the most against the rest. Any attack on her tree, however, provokes the pryad into a frenzied defense.
Spell-Like Abilities
At will— stone tell, stone shape; 3/day— charm person (DC 13), deep slumber (DC 15), rock stride; 1/day—suggestion (DC 15). Caster level 6th. The save DCs are Wisdom-based.
Petrified Tree Dependent (Su): Each pryad is mystically bound to a single, petrified tree and must never stray more than 300 yards from it. Any who do become ill and die within 4d6 hours. A pryad’s petrified tree does not radiate magic.
Wild Empathy (Ex): This power works like the druid’s wild empathy class feature, except that the pryad has a +6 racial bonus on the check.
Meld Into Stone (Sp): A pryad can meld into stone with its home tree for free and can meld into other stone 3 times/day.

A Wyndm-wolf grows about 6 feet long and stands about 3-1/2 feet at the shoulder. It weighs about 300 pounds. Wyndm-wolves can speak Fey and all three Wyndm tongues.
COMBAT
Wyndm-wolves typically hunt in packs, and tend to eat creatures smaller than themselves. However, with the colonization of the Wyndm-lands, and thus the introduciton of cattle to the lands, they have acquired a taste for beef and pork. A pack usually circles an opponent, each wolf attacking in turn to exhaust it. When solitary, they usually sneak up on their opponents.
Trip (Ex): A Wyndm-wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+8 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the Wyndm-wolf.
Skills: Wyndm-wolves have a +1 racial bonus on Listen, Move Silently, and Spot checks. Wyndm-wolves have a +2 racial bonus on Hide checks. *Their natural coloration grants them a +7 racial bonus on Hide checks in forests and mountains. A Wyndm-wolf has a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.
